Stephen Drew He was terrible this year. To sign him, you would have to believe his agent, Scott Boras, will reverse his history and take a quick deal for, say, one year at $3 million so Drew can re-establish himself. You would have to believe his lack of spring training the last three years (ankle, concussion, holding out against the ramifications of the qualifying offer) destroyed his offensive game this year. Can he be a .700-OPS shortstop with 15 homers? Yankees hitting coach Kevin Long thought so. Boston third-base coach Brian Butterfield, an infield guru, said Drew should have won the Gold Glove in 2013 because he excels at the difficult combo of aggressively attacking grounders while not being careless with the ball. 2. Didi Gregorius The Diamondbacks’ better young stock is Chris Owings. But Arizona knows that and apparently wants to build with him. The consensus is Gregorius will be a state-of-the-art defender with room to grow offensively — his lefty swing might even produce power at Yankee Stadium. Does offering Ian Clarkin and Adam Warren get it done? The other club in a similar situation is Seattle. Does it believe in Chris Taylor enough to make available Brad Miller, who has yet to hit to projections, but might run into a bunch of homers as a lefty with some heft at the Stadium? The problem is the Yanks do not have the ready-now bats the Mariners crave in return. 3. Jose Iglesias He missed this season with stress fractures in his shins. The prognosis is good for his return. Do the Tigers believe enough in Eugenio Suarez, who helped replace Iglesias this year, and/or Hernan Perez, who was good at Triple-A, to make the defensive genius of Iglesias available? 4. Jimmy Rollins Yes, age is a Yankees problem. Rollins turns 36 in November. But it is a one-year commitment. He has $11 million left on his contract. He did hit 17 homers with 28 steals and a .717 OPS while remaining a strong defender and — really — has there ever been a player you can be more sure can handle New York? Even in rebuild mode, the Phils have had trouble emotionally divorcing from their icons. They could not expect a huge haul back considering Rollins’ age, salary and decline. But it is time to get something rather than nothing: Does David Phelps plus Ramon Flores or Danny Burawa get it done? 5. Alexei Ramirez Three years younger than Rollins, Ramirez just had a season (15 homers, 21 steals, .713 OPS) quite similar to that of Rollins. He also is making $11 million next year — with an $11 million 2016 option (or $1 million buyout). He is extremely durable (exactly 158 games played in each of the last four years, and 156 the season before that). The White Sox like J.R. Murphy. Can he front a trade for Ramirez? http://ppt.cc/bNbs -- ※ 文章網址: http://webptt.com/m.aspx?n=bbs/MLB/M.1412172634.A.FD2.html
